Eternal Anachronism is concerned with the individual's subjective
outcry to the world, and that vast nothingness revealed between one
individual and another when attempting to communicate inner fears
and desires into the outer sphere of existence. The work, in the
form of narrative poetry, portrays an individual, known as the
stranger, living through a one day period in which the stranger
awakes at midnight with a passionate desire to reach out mentally
and socially, after having been provoked by some mysterious hopes
and fears that came unexpectedly during his time asleep. Throughout
the day he strives to understand and fulfill these mysterious
desires, drawing on inner reflections and social situations in
order to develop an identity, but one never sticks, and it only
serves to spur on the stranger's hope of finding some youthful
instant of romantic transcendence before the end of the night. The
primary themes focus on aesthetics and philosophy, and bloom into
subsequent thematic investigations of friendship, romance, social
politics, law and psychology. The writing style is musical,
consisting of third person and first person narratives, as well as
dialogues, and these styles are utilized in order to highlight
transitions and common states of communication between certain
characters. Eternal Anachronism explores timelessly human feelings
in a manner that draws on eastern religion and philosophy, as well
as western, but strips the masks that each society has chosen and
maintains a totally human perspective, which sees and relates to
archetypal and purely human symbols best.
